"Describing the plea for nekome—revenge—that a prisoner scrawled on a wall in Buchenwald before dying of torture, Rabbi Lau was clear: “We are the nekome. The Jewish existence, a school or yeshiva like Frisch…all the yeshivot in Medinat Yisrael today, following in the footsteps of our father and mothers, observing mitzvot, learning Torah and Talmud, going to the synagogue to pray and all the laws of the Torah, kashrut, Shabbat and Yom Tov, the tallit and tefillin, the siddur and Chumash—this is the nekome that we take. They wanted to destroy it…Nekome. We will never give up. We will never forget who we are and what we are.'" (source)
